Abstract
This paper problematizes dominant understanding that Mignolo’s theory is the genealogy of “decolonialization/ decoloniality,” arguing that the reliance of particular lineage reflects and corroborates hegemony of North Atlantic Anglophone Academia (NAAA). By demonstrating that NAAA’s paradigmatic notions of “anticolonial,” “postcolonial,” “decolonial” are not based on the worldmaking history, it probes paradox of current decolonial discourse that undermined anticolonial radical praxes as a failed project. Further, it questions the ways in which anticolonial failure is ascribed to the binary frameworks as if oppositional framework cannot be critical or part of decolonial genealogy. For example, this paper contests that usage of W.E.B. DuBois’s legacy as prefigurative of non-oppositional abolitionist is disavowal of W.E.B. DuBois’ participation in the dialectical anticolonial intellectual tradition. By illuminating the premise of post-postcolonial genealogy of decoloniality that NAAA endorses, this paper reckons muted legacies of decolonial genealogies as a product of disjointedness between “postcolonial” and “decolonial.”

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
